Researchers at University College London have developed a new technique to treat early prostate cancer: Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy. Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy involves injecting a light sensitive drug into a patient’s…

Harvard Medical School researchers have developed implantable microcoils that allow highly specific stimulation of neurons using electromagnetic induction. Neural stimulation has shown promise for the treatment of epilepsy, although researchers…

Researchers at Tufts University have developed a new technique for generating human neural stem cells for tissue engineering. The technique generates rapidly-differentiating neural stem cells which the researchers say could…
